Company volunteers
work to clean up neighborhood surrounding Larkin Building

First Niagara team members are volunteering their time to give back to
the local community by hosting a "flash mob" cleanup day. Community members are
encouraged to join us for a cleanup of the neighborhood surrounding the Larkin Building
on Saturday. The "flash mob" will meet at the Hydraulic Street event lot
located between Hydraulic Hearth and Flying Bison in two shifts, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
and 1-5 p.m.

The flash mob is being held in recognition of Earth Day. First Niagara
is partnering with the City of Buffalo, Larkin Co., Keep WNY Beautiful, Flying
Bison and Hydraulic Hearth for this grassroots cleanup event.

"First Niagara believes in doing our part to make our community a
cleaner and healthier place," said Elizabeth Gurney, executive director of the
First Niagara Foundation. "We are proud to support this cleanup effort in the
Larkin District, home to First Niagara's headquarters, and welcome new
businesses to a neighborhood that provides a great place to live and work."
